Pictorial print 1785 - 1790

This pictorial print, created by the Oberkampf Manufactory between 1785 and 1790, is a fine example of French textile design. The print depicts a pastoral scene with figures engaged in leisurely activities within a verdant landscape. The intricate details of the trees, buildings, and figures demonstrate the skilled craftsmanship of the Oberkampf Manufactory, known for its innovative techniques in textile printing. This piece, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, offers a glimpse into the aesthetic sensibilities of the late 18th century.
